There is a new plug-in board for the HP-85, which not only will emulate the difficult to restore but essential tape drive, but also 5 disk drives, adds all the ROMs, and extends the memory while it's at it. It's called the EBTKS board, designed by Philip Freidin, Russell Bull and Everett Kaser. And, by the way, Everett was one of the original HP-85 software engineers! Philip gives us a live demo.
